1Mbps is a bit fast, and enough for youtube as long as you don`t watch HD videos. 512 kbps is the minimum requirements of youtube, but at least 1Mbps is required to watch youtube videos without buffering.

Ya you can you need 1 mbps inhlf for seeing movie to but i recoomamd you to get the youtube plug so that it will help you in get more buffering speed so that you can get it faster so get it in you chrome and also then you can buffer faster and video will take less time to lad you can see 2 movies at a time if you get that plug in.

The average home user of music, small videos downloads can use the 1-3Mbps no problem. Once you get into uploading larger files you may need to upgrade for speed. It only talks a phone call to upgrade you speed.

Mbps is MegaBITS per second. 8 bits to a byte. So in 8 seconds at 18Mbps you should be able to download 18MB (megabytes). That`s about 3 mp3`s. That`s more theoretical than actual, tho. Either way, it`s blazing fast.

"Netflix will work with 1.5mbps ------------------------ 5m should work beautifully...."

dhonline said: After scouring the Netflix website, I spoke with Steve Swasey, Vice President of Communications for Netflix.
As a guideline, Swasey suggested the following minimum internet speeds for Netflix:
1 Mb/s for viewing on a laptop computer
2 Mb/s for viewing standard definition video on a TV
4 Mb/s for viewing High Definition video
5 Mb/s or more for the best audio and video experience. The above answer is from http://hometheater.about.com/od/internethometheater2/a/Internet-Speed-for-Netflix-Vudu.htm
